The first leg of his guidance was the construction site of the Ryongrim Dam of Huichon Power Station No. 1.

After being briefed on the construction before a huge design for building the power station, he went round the construction sites to learn in detail about the progress of the project.

Watching the gigantic construction sites reminiscent of big battle sites, he said that a giant structure began to spring up in the secluded Ryongrim ravine in a matter of a few months. He expressed great satisfaction with the rapid progress made in the construction of the power station.

Thanks to the heroic drive of the soldier-builders a huge dam of Huichon Power Station No. 1 will tower and there will appear a large man-made reservoir before long, he noted, calling upon them to wage a bold charge to bring earlier the day of victory.

The next leg of his guidance was the construction site of the dam of Huichon Power Station No. 2.

After being briefed on the construction before a big map showing the panoramic view of the power station, he looked round the construction site of the dam to acquaint himself with the progress made in the project.

Watching the dam rise against the time, he expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the soldier-builders have registered signal successes in the dam project by actively introducing efficient work methods and waging a three dimensional drive. He highly appreciated their feats.

We can successfully undertake any epoch-making huge nature-harnessing project as we determined to do as we have the heroic soldiers intensely loyal to the Party and the revolution, he said, adding: This is wealth and prosperity which our Party and people alone can enjoy.

Noting that every minute and second in the construction sites of the Huichon Power Station witness a leaping advance and innovation and world-startling miracles are being wrought without let-up in the crucible of this high-pitched drive, he said with pride that this great speed precisely means a new Chollima speed, "Huichon speed" based on the revolutionary soldier spirit, the basis of the Songun politics.
